Meanwhile, in mobile gaming…<\/p>\n
New App Releases<\/h2>\n
I haven\u2019t seen anything massively exciting released this week that we haven\u2019t already covered, have you? There\u2019s a new Orangepixel game on the way later this month – Snake Core<\/em> – which you can pre-order now on iOS<\/a>, but we\u2019ll talk more about it closer to the time.<\/p>\n [embedded content]<\/p>\n Something not everyone might think about amidst the growing Covid-19 situation is the effect certain games have on our lifestyle. Sure, Esports events and game conferences are being cancelled, but what about games like Pokemon GO<\/em> that almost require you to go outside?<\/p>\n Will, Niantic have definitely been thinking about it themselves, because they recently announced to Polygon<\/a> that they\u2019re implementing a number of chagces which will allow their players to enjoy the game without having to go outside as much. The main changes coming include:<\/p>\n Niantic postponed a Harry Potter<\/em> event as well, and they\u2019re not the only ones trying to make changes to help deal with the situation. Discord, for example, have offered increased functionality even for non-paying users to help with the increasing number of people working from home.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve actually been kind of interested in checking out Games of Thrones: Beyond the Wall<\/em> ever since I heard about it last year. Sure, it\u2019s likely going to be a free-to-play gacha game, but hey, I\u2019m a sucker for the Night\u2019s Watch. We haven\u2019t really heard or seen much about it in recent months, but Behaviour Interactive are in the midst of a press tour and have confirmed it will be released on iOS<\/a> first on March 26th<\/strong>, with Android<\/a> following on April 3rd<\/strong>. Pre-registration is open for both.<\/p>\n [embedded content]<\/p>\n We\u2019ve got a decent new game announcement this week as well: Door Kickers: Action Squad<\/em> is a 2D side-scrolling platform\/action game released late 2018 that\u2019s a spin-off from 2014\u2019s Door Kickers<\/em><\/a>. It\u2019s finally coming to mobile (having gone everywhere else first). You play as one of six different SWAT troopers sent into one of 84 different levels to deal with whatever situation has arisen – rescue the hostage, disarm the bomb\u2026 if you squint, it\u2019s like a 2D solitaire Rainbow Six: Siege<\/em>.<\/p>\n [embedded content]<\/p>\n Pre-registration\/Pre-Order is available for both iOS<\/a> and Android<\/a>. The App Store hints at a release date of April 8th, 2020<\/strong>, but that could change of course.<\/p>\n Singapore is the place to be if you want to get your hands on Legends of Runeterra<\/em> before anyone else. An eagle-eyed twitter user<\/a> has spotted that Riot\u2019s own collectable card game offering has soft-launched on the Google Play store over there. We\u2019ve not been able to find out if it\u2019s landed anywhere else yet, but it seems to also be in the iOS app store<\/a> in the region.<\/p>\n Last but not least; I know we don\u2019t really cover PUBG<\/em> much here, but the mobile version just got a colourmind mode in a recent update, which is neat.<\/p>\n [embedded content]<\/p>\n A handful of games on sale this week you might be interested in – haven\u2019t thought about some of these games in a long while! All of the discounts listed below are available on both iOS and Android.<\/p>\nApp News & Updates<\/h2>\n
